Using the Histogram
A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. Use as a guide
when using exposure compensation and shooting without the flash.
•
The horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and
bright tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.
•
Increasing exposure compensation shifts tone distribution to the right, and
decreasing it shifts tone distribution to the left.
